In a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show, Sutton Stracke, 53, faced backlash for her insensitive remarks about Kyle Richards' marriage. The controversy began when Sutton implied that Kyle’s estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, had been unfaithful during their marriage. This comment led to an off-camera confrontation between the two women, revealing tensions that had been brewing beneath the surface. Kyle expressed her shock and disappointment over Sutton's statement, questioning the sincerity of their friendship. Despite Sutton’s attempts to clarify and apologize, the incident has left a lasting impact on their relationship. Kyle emphasized that she no longer feels comfortable trusting Sutton, highlighting the breach in their bond.

On January 14, during an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Sutton made a pointed remark about infidelity in Kyle’s marriage. Kyle appeared visibly taken aback, as Sutton stated, “But you also had infidelity. Let’s not forget that part.” This unexpected comment caught Kyle off guard, leading to confusion and denial from Kyle, who maintained that she never mentioned Mauricio being unfaithful. However, this was not the first time such allegations had surfaced. In season 13, Kyle revealed a moment that caused her to lose trust in her husband, though she did not explicitly accuse him of cheating.

The situation escalated further when Kyle recounted the private conversation she had with Sutton on the After Show. She recalled Sutton saying, “I don’t know why I said that. I got so confused,” which Kyle found hard to believe. Kyle expressed her disillusionment, stating that she thought they were close friends and that they could resolve issues together. Instead, she felt betrayed by Sutton’s actions. Kyle also referenced a moment from season 13 when Sutton questioned whether the ring on Kyle’s finger was an apology gift from Mauricio for stepping out. This added another layer of discomfort to their already strained relationship.

Kyle further explained that Sutton had apologized to both Mauricio and their daughter Alexia for her hurtful comments. However, when Sutton brought up infidelity rumors again, Kyle felt blindsided. “We’re friends. Why are you doing that?” Kyle asked, feeling that Sutton prioritized herself in that moment. As a result, Kyle decided to put up a wall, acknowledging that she would no longer fully trust Sutton. Despite Sutton’s later apology, Kyle remained wary, stating that she would continue to be cordial but would never forget the incident.

Kyle and Mauricio’s separation in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage has been a focal point of speculation and rumors. Over the years, both have denied cheating allegations, yet the constant gossip has taken its toll on Kyle. At last season’s reunion, she admitted that the persistent rumors began to erode her confidence in their relationship. Although Mauricio has not commented on the recent allegations from Sutton, the situation has undoubtedly added more strain to an already complicated situation. The incident serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between friendship and loyalty in the public eye.
